Thanks again for showing not one, but two, examples!

I will absolutely use it again, I love making combinations that ideally look like a beautiful shifting flower arrangement. Choosing plants that look good together over time is just about practice and experimentation, and I do like the "over time" aspect compared to the static aesthetics of, say, Ikebana (although I'm also dabbling in Ikebana).
However, this technique is going to be difficult to maintain unless you have an area with high humidity, my grow tent is around 70%. If you're already growing mounted orchids successfully, this shouldn't be a problem, but keep in mind that if you want the ball covered in living moss, it really does need a lot of water when establishing.
